As soon as I walked Crossfit Tantrum for Foundations and was greeted by friendly faces, I knew I would never want to set foot in another gym. The coaches and staff are really knowledgeable and really take time to teach you the movements. Everyone is always encouraging and the people you work out with are the best! You can feel the community-type atmosphere when you come in and your friends really do become your family.

should have joined sooner. joining CrossFit Tantrum was one of the best decisions I've ever made. not only am I in the best shape of my life but I've also met an amazing group of people that have become a second family to me. don't be intimidated or think that you aren't in good enough shape to join. members have a variety of fitness levels but everyone is supportive and pushes one another to be better everyday. the coaches are wonderful. each has his/her own coaching style so there is absolutely someone there that will push you to be your best - whether you need someone yelling in your face or someone who's a bit more laid back. if you've ever wondered about CrossFit or thought about giving it a try - Tantrum is your gym - you'll wish you had joined sooner.

Crossfit Tantrum has been one of my best fitness experiences ever! The coaches have been very supportive of my fitness journey 100% of the way. All of the people that go here are incredibly supportive as well, more supportive than family! If you've never tried CrossFit but want to or are looking for a new box, this is the place for you to be!

After making the move to the Pittsburgh area at the beginning of summer, I knew that one of the first things I wanted to do was find a new crossfit box. Little more than the serendipity of geography led me to CrossFit Tantrum. On all possible margins, joining has been a 5-star decision. The coaches are passionate and knowledgable in helping all members aspire to their peaks of fitness day in and day out no matter whether you are a star athlete, new to the fitness journey, hurt/injured, or dealing with any other sort or degree of issue. Beyond that, the members themselves are fantastic - in and out of the gym. At Tantrum, you'll meet new friends that become family. Support, encouragement, and community are what you'll find here. Drop in, and see!

“My whole life I’ve struggled with my weight. I tried every exercise/diet program there was, I would lose weight, then gain it back. It was a constant roller coaster ride I needed to get off of. I also had other set backs, requiring multiple surgeries throughout the years. After my last surgery I hit an all time low. I gained a whopping 30 pounds and lost all my confidence. Then I came across Crossfit. I’ve heard many different things about it, but the main thing that struck me was how it is a community. This community is what kept me going, not only did I have my incredible coaches, but an entire group of people telling me that I was good enough. I was slowly building my confidence, and learning I could do things I never thought I was able to do. Crossfit has challenged me physically and mentally. With each passing week I was breaking down these brick walls in front of me that I’ve built over the years, and to me, this was a huge accomplishment. With each tiny step, I’ve overcome huge obstacles. My coaches taught me how to believe in myself and how to get out of my own way. I’m stronger, more confident, determined, and those 30 pounds are gone. The best part is knowing it will not end here. Each week there is a new barrier to cross and I know I won’t fail, because I have this great community encouraging me every step of the way. This is what makes Crossfit so successful. It has helped me to love exercising, lifting, and most importantly, love myself. I’m forever grateful to this community and sport, for it has changed my life. “
